<p>
{ <b>font-style:</b> <b>normal</b>| <b>italic</b> | <b>oblique</b>}<BR></p>
<p>
Sets the font style. </p>
<p>
IE currently only supports italic | normal. </p>
<p>
This attribute is inherited. </p>
<p>
<b>Settings</b></p>
<p>
Legal combinations of the values are: 
<ul>
<li>
one of the four values <br><br></li>
<li>
'italic' or 'oblique', combined with 'small-caps' </li>
</ul>
<p>
If the preferred font style cannot be accomplished, the UA should make best efforts to find acceptable substitutions. Often, an 'oblique' font can be substituted by an 'italic' font. If 'small-caps' are not available, capital letters of a smaller font size can be used to render small characters if the resolution of the output medium is appropriate for this. </p>
<p>
h3, H2, H3 { font-style: small-caps  italic }</p>
<p>
  h3 EM { font-style: italic }</p>
<p>
In the example above, emphasized text within 'h3' will appear in normal lower-case italic. </p>
